[QUOTE="69ST, post: 162481, member: 5"] Actually, Adam, some of the six volt bikes were full-wave DC...and those came fitted with far better electrical systems. AFAIK, HD electrics are more like scaled-down automotive. Under those scenarios, I'd have more confidenceAnd, yes, I have heard of someone with a battery fire in a Dax. No one was injured, the actual damage to the bike was cosmetic, though a complete repaint is a bit of work.:13: The details were sketchy, for my liking, on that one too. Dunno what specific flavor of lithium tech was involved. It's the kind of thing that makes inquiring minds go "[I]hmmmmmm?[/I]" :39: At this late, in this corporate era, I don't trust easily, call it OG privilege. This battery could be an ultimate solution for the stated problem...might be able to straighten out the hunchback of Notre Dame, too. I'd want more detailed info first. As for the starter relay mentioned, I'd like to see a photo, too. But, give the man a chance before heating the tar :52: Starter relays are cheap and generic enough, for anyone who's really motivated, has a modicum of wiring skill and a maybe a sawbuck worth of coins under the sofa cushions.
